Usually on the transom - it might be a thin plate covered by layers of paint.
To be more precise, after October, 1972 vessels built in the United States were required to place 12 digit hull identification numbers (sometimes referred to as HIN) on the vessel's hull. The HIN is typically sighted on the starboard side transom of these vessels. These numbers are typically imprinted or engraved into the hull. Foriegn made vessels will typically have a hull manufactuerer number somewhere on the back quarters of the exterior hull or inside the hull. These foriegn vessels are not HIN numbers like you see in the United States but more hull numbers based on how many were produced of that model (such as "hull number 512").

I have some charts showing the meaning of the number and letter sequence in old VW vin numbers. All depends on how old the owner is as to whether i can help with decoding for you. If you want to let me have the vin I'll see if i can help.Dave.
my 1969 larson trihull has its vin on the inside of the transom on the drivers side.
On my 1995 Bayliner the VIN or Hull number is stamped into the right side of the TRANSOM
The HIN is the Hull Identification Number assigned to the boat. Each HIN is unique to that boat, and is the same as the VIN on a motor vehicle. All boats manufactured after 1972 have a HIN consisting of 12 characters as required by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1972.
